Me and a mate are doing a bit of an epic road trip to get to Silverstone and I am putting together a playlist for the roadtrip. The only thing is, I can’t find much F1 related music…. any ideas? – Oh, and cheese is good!

Well The Chain is an obvious one but its perhaps slightly overplayed, and if you’re nostalgic for the ITV days you cud use Moby, Lift Me Up. If you want cheese Melendi’s “El Nano” has all the cheese you could ever want. Florence and the Machine’s “You’ve got the Love” will always be associated with F1 for me thanks to the final BBC F1 montage of last season, Kings of Leon Sex on Fire for ITV 08 montage, and Amerie Gotta Work for the 07 montage.

If you want general driving songs you could go for some songs from the Gran Turismo games, The Cardigans Favourite Game and any Feeder songs and loads of other tracks on their playlists that would be worth having.

But if you want any more songs perhaps you should ask Nick Heidfeld for advice…

Ned has just won a thousand million internet points for giving me a 30 minute, full-on, nostalgia trip. That game, and that music, was my childhood. I loved that all the tracks on the soundtrack were named after corners on the calendar. Can you imagine if they did it for the F1 2010 game? The soundtrack would be:

Dan, how did you manage to rip the ’97 ones (and for that matter, the Steve Vai/Joe Satriani tracks on ’95)? I could only manage to get the ‘Overdrive’ tracks… if you have the others, do you think you could send them to me too please? – tomlow75@googlemail.com – thanks very much!

Ah I thought ripping the songs from 97 would work, but you’re right, I’ve just tried it myself and it doesn’t. I’ve looked everywhere and the only place I can find the songs from ’97 is on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdFyM230aJw&feature=related There are some free programs out there that can extract the audio from Youtube videos and convert them to MP3’s, so if you’re desperate that may be the only way to get them!

I have the Steve Vai and Joe Satriani songs which I got seperately, so I’ll send them as well.
